one-half of the piece of lead and the guest
takes the other half as they part. These
two pieces Of lead are handed down from
generation to generation, and from family
to family, and after awhile, perhaps one
of the families in want or in trouble go
out with this one piece OF lead and find
the other family with the corresponding
piece Of lead, and no sooner is the tally
completed than the old hos
pitality rs aroused and eter-
nal friendship pledged. SO the
memory of Christian hospitality will
go down from generation to generation,
and from family to family, and the tally
will never be lost, neither in this world
nor the world to come.
Mark this: The day will come when we
will all be turned out of doors, without
any exception, bare-footed, bare headed,
no water in the canteen, no bread in the
haversack, and will go in that way into
the future world. And l wonder II
eternal hospitalities will open before MS,
and if we will be received into everlasting
habitations? Francis Frescobald was a
rich Italian, and he was very merciful and
very hospitable. One day, an English
man, by the name of Thomas
Cromwell, appeared at his door asking for
shelter and aims, which were cheerfully
rendered. Frescobald afterward lost all
his property, became very poor, and wan
dered up into England; and one day he
saw procession passing, and 10! 1t was
the Lord Chancellor of England; and 10!
the Lord Chancellor of England was

he had once befriended down in italy.

his debts, invited him to his house, and

Exchange OF April I'd, there is two
columns of your speech made in the

of extra Alvin" when l wrote it.

had rhhing to do with it. | have no
us- for him, nor his whisky either.
You seem 70 have gotten things mixed
about ms bad Ms | did. You seeH to
he at an entire loss 10 know what
amendment had reference to. You
know there was only one amendment
submitted 10y the legislature to The
people. Perhaps when you made
that speech you might have been
mixed up with a little of WattersOn's
bourbon, as to that, | do not pretend
to say. At any rate you seemed to
forget what you did say. And then
YOU charged ME with trying to make
the impression that you was opposed
to prohibition, when exactly the re-
verse was true, which you could read
lily see if you had read the letter care
fully. will now quote what you
said about the am. ndment, aud every
word | said about you in my letter.
You said in your speech that "Thls
legislature has passed hill submit.
ting to the people proposed amend
ment to the constitution as to manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
If this amendment should he adopted
as | believe it will, the result will be
decrease to the amount of 200, DOC
or 100000 in the revenue of the
state, which must be supplied from
some source. l, for one, am unwill'
ing that All additional tax should be
placed upon the land Of the people o.
the state if it can be avoided" Thai
is the amendment | had reference to
aud is all the point in your speech
referred to at all or wished to com
ment on. Now | will quote, for your
benefit, every word said about you,
then you can see whether your charge
against me can bS sustained. "Mr
Williamson is certainly honest in hi
opinion, and is DESTROYS of seeing the
farmers prosper and freed from taxa
ton. Adopt the amendment and you
will free them from City to seventy
FIVE per cent. of taxes they are paying
under whisky reign. | do not charge
Mr.. Williamson Of trying to alarm
the voters or to detract one vote from
the amendment" Now you have all
| said about you. Do you, see any.
thing in that, charging you of being
untrue to prohibition? You had
better read my letter II little more
careful before charging me of insinu-
ating your unsoundness to prohibition,
for | never insinuated any such thing,
The balance of my letter is devoted
solely to that revenue clause, and its
comparison to the whisky traffic and
records of the country. That is suffi'
cient explanation, and all | expect tC
say on the subject. Respt.
